The Chosen
The Chosen and Its Mormon Influencers
“Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?” (2 Corinthians 6:14)
The Chosen series was initiated and inspired from a partnership between Dallas Jenkins, an evangelical filmmaker, and three Mormon businessmen, Jeffrey and Neal Harmon and Derral Eves after the three men viewed a film written and directed by Jenkins called The Shepherd. The Mormon influence on The Chosen is considerable: the executive producer is Mormon, the distributor is Mormon, certain episodes were shot on a special Mormon set in Utah, and the crowdfunding and media expertise is provided by Mormons.

Are the Biblical Jesus and the Mormon Jesus the Same?
The Chosen’s director, co-writer, and chief publicist, Dallas Jenkins, has gone on record stating that the Mormon Jesus is the same as the Bible’s Jesus.

Are the Biblical Jesus and the Mormon Jesus the Same?
Below is a list of some of the “attributes” of the Mormon Jesus:
Dallas Jenkins told one interviewer that “95% of the content [of The Chosen] isn’t from the Bible.” This means that The Chosen is almost completely man’s word—not God’s Word.

“95% of the Content Isn’t From the Bible”—Dallas Jenkins
Sarah Young mimics occult practices. The way in which Young receives her revelation from Jesus smacks of the occult. “I decided to listen to God with pen in hand, writing down whatever I believe He was saying. I felt awkward the first time I tried this, but I received a message. It was short, biblical, and appropriate. It addressed topics that were current in my life: trust, fear, and closeness to God. I responded by writing in my prayer journal.” This is not a far cry from a practice known as “automatic writing” which Wikipedia describes as “an alleged psychic ability allowing a person to produce written words without consciously writing. The words are claimed to arise from a subconscious, spiritual or supernatural source.”
Jesus Calling
The Jesus of Sarah Young sounds suspiciously like a twenty-first century, Western, middle-aged woman.
Nowhere in Scripture do we find Jesus (or his Father) speaking like this: “When your Joy in Me meets My Joy in you, there are fireworks of heavenly ecstasy.”

Universalist, New Age teachings
William P. Young believes in “universal salvation” and that “every single human being is in Christ” and “Christ is in them.”
